Good morning, fam. Today on The Morning Drop, three stories worth waking up for.
Liam breaks down why Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey just broke the biggest IMAX presale record in history — and why getting a ticket is about more than seeing a movie. The film was shot entirely on IMAX cameras, but only 40 theaters worldwide can project it the way Nolan intended, and only 24 of them are in the US. For many people, this was about securing one of the rarest seats cinema has ever offered.
Then Miranda gives Miss Piggy her flowers. Six Emmy nominations. A newly rethemed Disney World ride. A Las Culturistas award with a name too long to fit in a headline. Half a million social media followers. And a headlining slot at the FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show alongside Shakira. What a year for Miss Piggy!
And Jean brings us the Yellowstone story that has been all over your feed: a 65-year-old abuelito, his grandson, a charging bison bull, and about 8 feet of airtime. He is expected to recover. The bison has zero regrets. Park officials are just asking everyone to stay 25 yards back, por favor.
